I will soon be the proud owner of a Parker 24C. This will be my first use of an open comb razor. What type of learning curve should I expect going from a closed comb to an open comb? Thanks guys.
When I went from my EJ DE89 to my Parker 26C I didn't notice much difference. I did like how the open comb gave me feedback on my angle of attack. I found the 26C to be about as aggressive as the DE89. Good shaves from both....they do like different blades though.
I bought a Parker 24C a couple of months ago and I love it. I like the open comb to hack through a weekends worth of growth. I do find it a little more aggressive than my closed combs but not to an uncomfortable degree. Enjoy it!
I bought a 24C a few months ago and I love it. It is one of the smoothest razors you will ever find. I usually like a more aggressive razor but this one is so efficient and yet smooth you can't help but love it. I put a short handle on mine from a Parker 94R. Really nice.
I just received my Parker 24C a few days and have not had a chance to use it. It's built like a tank and weighs 93 grams. It's good to read positive reviews for this razor. With a thick base plate and the blade tight on the base plate I can see how it is mild. A beautiful razor you won't be disappointed.
The 24c arrived late this afternoon. It has definite heft, and the handle almost feels like the knurling on a barbell, which will help with grip. I will post updates once I shave with it.
